Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for hydrogenating polymers containing ethylenic unsaturation. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for selectively hydrogenating ethylenic unsaturation contained in a polymer comprising ethylenic unsaturation and one or more cyano groups.
  • Polymers containing both ethylenic unsaturation and cyano groups are, of course, well known in the prior art. Most frequently, such polymers are prepared by copolymerizing a polyolefln, particularly a diolefin, and an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile. Such polymers may also incorporate other monomer units such as monomers which would incorporate aromatic unsaturation into the polymer. Polymers prepared by copolymerizing a conjugated diolefin, particularly butadiene, with an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile, particularly acrylonitrile are, of course, well known in the prior art and such polymers have been produced commercially for some time.
  • polymers are produced in a rather broad range of relative compositions over a broad range of molecular weights and have a wide range of end use applications.
  • polymers are known to be useful in fibers, packings, seals, tubes, membranes, sheaths and the like.
  • the polymer generally cannot be used neat in many of these end use applications due to poor oxygen and ozone resistance and to poor thermal stability.
  • the foregoing and other objects and advantages are accomplished in a process using a catalyst prepared by contacting one or more of certain palladium compounds with one or more alkylalumoxanes.
  • the catalyst is prepared by combining the palladium compound or compounds and the alkylalumoxane or alkylalumoxanes in a suitable solvent. Hydrogenation of the polymer is accomplished at elevated temperatures and pressures and is also accomplished in a suitable solvent.
  • the present invention relates to a process for selectively hydrogenating ethylenic unsaturation contained in a polymer comprising ethylenic unsaturation and one or more cyano groups.
  • the hydrogenation is accomplished in the presence of a catalyst prepared by contacting one or more palladium compounds with one or more alkylalumoxanes in a suitable solvent.
  • Hydrogenation of the polymer is accomplished at an elevated temperature and pressure in a suitable solvent for the polymer.
  • the one or more alkylalumoxanes will frequently be referred to herein simply as an alumoxane.
  • any polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation and one or more cyano groups may be hydrogenated with the method of this invention.
  • Polymers which may be hydrogenated include addition polymers prepared by polymerizing one or more polyolefins, particularly diolefins, which polymers also contain one or more cyano groups.
  • the cyano groups may be incorporated into the polymer by copolymerizing one or more ethylenically unsaturated nitriles with the polyolefin or polyolefins.
  • the cyano groups may also be incorporated by grafting one or more ethylenically unsaturated nitriles onto a polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation.
  • the cyano group may further be incorporated by reacting a polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation with a compound capable of adding a cyano group into the polymer.
  • a compound capable of adding a cyano group into the polymer for example, one or more cyano groups may be introduced into a polymer containing alkali metal atoms by reaction with Cl--C.tbd.N, as taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,135,716, the disclosure of which copending U.S. patent application is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the polymers which may be hydrogenated with the process of this invention may also contain aromatic unsaturation. As is well known, aromatic unsaturation may be incorporated into a polymer by copolymerizing a monomer containing aromatic unsaturation such as a monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon.
  • polymers comprising polyolefin monomer units as well as polymers containing both polyolefin monomer units and monoalkenyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomer units may be prepared by polymerizing the monomers in bulk, solution or emulsion.
  • any of the polymerization initiators or catalysts known in the prior art may be used to effect the polymerization. Suitable catalysts, then, include free radical, anionic and cationic initiators or polymerization catalysts. As is well known, however, the anionic and cationic initiators are not acceptable for use in emulsion polymerization.
  • ethylenically unsaturated nitriles do not lend themselves to polymerization or copolymerization with anionic and cationic initiators.
  • Polymers prepared by copolymerizing one or more polyolefin monomers and one or more ethylenically unsaturated nitriles are, then, most generally, prepared with free radical initiators or catalysts.
  • copolymers containing one or more ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer units are most frequently prepared using emulsion techniques.
  • a copolymer containing one or mre ethylenically unsaturated nitriles which copolymer is prepared by direct copolymerization, as opposed to grafting or modification, emulsion techniques will generally be used as will a free radical initiator.
  • Such polymers may be random, tapered or block.
  • the base polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation may first be prepared using any of the known techniques and an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile then grafted thereon using a free radical initiator or the cyano group incorporated via direct or indirect reaction between a base polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation or ethylenic and aromatic unsaturation and a compound capable of adding a cyano group into the polymer.
  • the base polymer when not a homopolymer, may be random, tapered or block.
  • the method of the present invention may be used to selectively hydrogenate any polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation and one or more cyano groups and, optionally, aromatic unsaturation

  • each of these polymers may be prepared using methods well known in the prior art.
  • the molecular weight and relative composition of the polymers hydrogenated with the method of this invention are not critical.
